I guess you just stick them at the end of the run.

We've go to the point now where Tipping Point are repeating their early covid episodes, which is only really obvious because of the recent switch to 3 players.

ITV back to Bond movies next week. Would love to know how they rate considering they’ve all been on several times

[Brekkie]

They seem to have moved away from relying on Tipping Point and The Chase at the weekends in the last few weeks.

Moneyball repeats starting from Sat 25th.

That feels like waving a white flag - nobody wanted to watch it first time around.

[tellyblues]

To be fair, it faced tougher opposition last time whereas now it's up against Garden Rescue and the news. I can't imagine the BBC will show anything in later weeks that will trouble it either.

They were quite desperate for audience members to turn up for the recordings of the new series of Moneyball to the extent they started bribing people with the chance of a cash prize draw and err...signed photos of Wrighty

I've noticed ITV2 seems to currently be airing a programme called 'Emergency Nurses: A+E Stories' on Sunday evenings, though it appears the whole series is already available on ITV Hub.

ITV2 does seem to be reinventing itself, with more factual programmes, following The Social Media Murders last year, and also, the last few months have seen an increase of American drama on the channel, with the afternoon block of Hart of Dixie, One Tree Hill and The OC (the latter two were formerly on E4) and All American stripped on weekday evenings at 7pm.

I’ve noticed Vick Hope’s breakfast show is tomorrow morning. What happened to big Zhu’s show?

I think it was only commissioned for an 8-week run. I think that's also the case with Vick Hope and then Katie Piper.

Live and let die at 8pm on a Saturday night? is this a backup?!

I wondered if it was some kind of loose connection with it being Paul McCartney's 80th birthday today?

"The Spy who loved me" is on next week. 
Have they decided to shift the prerecorded series of The Voice UK to the Autumn?

They all have the same basic format and come from Cactus TV so I can imagine this being true.

Seems to be the case.  Never really understood cutting The Voice Kids to 3 eps burnt off after Christmas either when it did OK (granted not spectacular) in the summer.   Even if they cut it to 4 weeks it still sees them through a month.

I thought The Masked Dancer might air Saturdays from June but they're clearly saving it for autumn, whether weekly or across one week.
